Wow, such a fantastic gift. Embrace it with open arms. If you have a four-day ticket, my recommendation is to take it easy on the first day since you will be too tired and blistered to enjoy the rest of the trip. Out of all the show stands, my fave is Lanzante. They bring the house down for even the most well-known businesses.

I am uncertain; the vehicle was taken to the garage, and the technician is currently driving it to and from work to identify the issues. He mentioned that it only emits smoke on cold mornings, but he could not specify the odour he detected. I observe that it is indeed a significant identifier.

The 2008 318d was functioning optimally until I inadvertently allowed a handbag to become lodged behind the gear stick while the vehicle was in motion. Consequently, the car revved excessively out of gear, as it failed to shift due to the obstruction. The engine subsequently stalled, but it restarted slowly, only to falter again on the first incline, losing power and displaying an alternator warning. Electrical systems, including the doors and brakes, ceased to function despite having driven for an hour without issues. The garage will only assess the vehicle after Christmas; it is operational again, but the mechanic reports a significant knocking sound and smoke upon cold starts. Given the age of the car, he suggests that repairs may not be worthwhile, as it could indicate a severe engine issue. The vehicle was operating exceptionally well and covering considerable distance without any problems until I made the imprudent decision to search for chewing gum with one hand while navigating slowly through traffic while entering a town, inadvertently causing the bag to drop under the gear stick.

I did not use stretch bolts on the W211; I reused the existing ones. Apologies, I cannot recall the torque as it is not included in the extensive thread I created.

If you possess a steel space saving spare tire, the shorter bolts required for its installation are typically included with the vehicle and are generally located within the polystyrene holder that accommodates the jack, wheel wedge and warning triangle.

The recall pertains to the MK1 Niro, which utilised the same engine as the hybrid Ceed/Xceed. This is not applicable to the Mk2 provided from 2022 forward. It is characteristic of the Daily Fail to present an incorrect model. I verified this on the DVLA Recalls website by entering the data of a Mk1.

In recent years, I have oscillated between the RAC and the AA. I obtain family coverage, ensuring that all four drivers and vehicles within the home are insured. Approaching either of these companies directly may not be the most economical option. Utilising platforms such as Quidco (among other cashback services) might yield a significant discount; however, there is a considerable delay before receiving the cashback.

My M3 Performance is exhibiting the same issue.

Thank you; I will review them later. I contacted Kia and provided my part number, 551001W110, but they informed me that it will take six months to obtain it.

Indeed, you are correct; the part number is 55100-1W100; however, regrettably, it is unavailable for purchase from any vendors. Thank you for your assistance.

Greetings, I am receiving 551001W000; all photographs on eBay corresponding to that part number differ from those on Autodoc. Am I examining the incorrect figures? I am beginning to question my judgement despite the seller's confirmation of the right fitment.

Thank you, I have verified that it matches the part number of the one I ordered. The seller claims it is intended for drums and callipers; nevertheless, it is unfeasible without the lugs or their equivalent, which I have indicated in the figure below.

Yes, everything fits, except the axle lacks the lugs for the calliper.

Greetings everyone, I possess a 2012 Kia Rio MK3, and the rear subframe/axle has failed its MOT. I acquired a fresh new one from eBay, with the vendor assuring me it was the proper part. It was only after installation that I discovered it was intended for drum brakes, however my vehicle is equipped with disc brakes. No attachment points for the callipers I have searched extensively on eBay and cannot locate a rear axle that includes fittings for callipers. Could anyone suggest a location for purchasing one? Am I examining the incorrect section on eBay? Thank you.

Thank you for your response, DMGRS. The EGR I installed was marketed as a brand new authentic part. They are dispatching a replacement for me to install; we shall see if that resolves the issue. I removed the plastic cover, which was adhered, applied WD40 to release it, still the issue persists. Is the plug you are referring to the one on the EGR, or is it a different plug? If I can rectify the EGR issue, I anticipate that the DPF problem will resolve, as it has persisted shortly after the EGR malfunction. I have inspected the glow plug in cylinder one, and it is functioning properly; yet, a malfunction persists. I removed the plugs, injectors, etc., to replace the rocker cover, and it has been since that time that the glow plug defect has emerged. Thank you in advance.

I possess a 2011 F10 520D 5 Series vehicle. I require assistance with certain fault codes; I have reset the faults but cannot maintain the Engine Management Light in an off state. I utilised ISTA+ and the fault codes obtained are as follows: EGR Valve - 257E00 - Exhaust gas recirculation actuator, position sensor, signal: Open or short-circuit to ground Diesel particle filter - 244800 - Information - particulate filter system: Restricted remaining capacity of particulate filter Preheating Control - 242200 - Activation of Preheater Plug, Cylinder 1: Preheater plug resistance exceeds specifications Exhaust gas pressure sensor - 25C800 - Exhaust back pressure sensor located upstream of the diesel particulate filter: Sensor deviation beyond acceptable limits I replaced the EGR valve and attempted to reset the adaptations, but was unable to do so using ISTA+ for some reason. The exhaust gas pressure sensor is a recent defect, following the EGR replacement, and the preheating control is also new. I have conducted an extensive motorway drive to clear the DPF, but I am still unable to resolve the condition.

Hello everyone, I would want to introduce myself to all of you. I am the new owner of a 2020 Niro EV 4 trim. I am now pleased with the car; it is advantageous to have greater range compared to my previous 40 kW Leaf. I have successfully completed a software upgrade, enabling the usage of the Kia Connect app. I have installed new front and rear discs and pads due to rust and glazing. I will change the gearbox fluid next when I get time.

Greetings, Two potential explanations arise: either one of the doors was not completely closed, or more likely, you were insufficiently applying pressure to the brake pedal when engaging the EV button. I trust that this information is beneficial.

The steel pipe originates from the banjo bolt on the manifold, with the sensor inserted into a little rubber part at the end.

Verify if the pre-turbine pressure sensor pipe is unobstructed; if it is clear, replace the sensor and reset the settings. It is also advisable to inspect the brakes to ensure none are binding, as this significantly impacts fuel economy.

I greatly appreciate your thorough response. I was certain that I had encountered an advertisement for a 19” spacesaver, but I could not locate it. I will now proceed to purchase a 19” RH, thank you.

👌

I am uncertain about your statement regarding “they're all 18.” If you are alluding to the Spacesaver wheel, your assertion is incorrect, as I have encountered 19” Spacesavers during my search, albeit infrequently. I opted for an 18” due to an immediate necessity. Thank you for your comment.
